Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ApplePie at none against Doodle Jump's 11. ApplePie also leads on price ($0.99 vs $1.99). Doodle Jump's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 22 months) and chart position (#63 vs unranked). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
