Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Flinguin at none against aa's 5. Flinguin also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (67% vs 56%). aa's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (11K vs 24). On price, rating, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
