Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Accelerometer at Free against Tower300's $0.99. Accelerometer also leads on update cadence (every 5 months vs every 36 months). Tower300's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.6). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
