Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: 3D Paperball at none against Powder Game's shown. 3D Paperball also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). Powder Game's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 15 months) and ratings volume (2.1K vs 6). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
