Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Hypastorm at 5.0 against Commander Pixman's 4.6. Hypastorm also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and price ($0.99 vs $3.99). Commander Pixman's advantage is ratings volume (24 vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.6). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
