Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Count Master at none against Subway Surfers's 10. Count Master also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (100% vs 87%). Subway Surfers's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 12 months) and ratings volume (3.8M vs 6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
