Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Smash Ping at none against Virtual Table Tennis's 10. Smash Ping also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 15.0). Virtual Table Tennis's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 25 months) and ratings volume (4.4K vs 22). On price, rating, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
