Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Alien Run 3D at Free against Gomi's $2.99. Alien Run 3D also leads on update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 40 months). Gomi's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (90% vs 67%). On rating, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
