Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Flexibird at none against Subway Surfers's 10. Flexibird also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Subway Surfers's advantage is ratings volume (3.9M vs 1) and chart position (#8 vs unranked). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Subway Surfers sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Flexibird asks for nothing beyond the download.
Flexibird holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Subway Surfers has 3.9M ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
