Drop in some fun with PAPLINKO! In PAPLINKO, the goal is to bounce balls into cups, collecting coins and prizes as you go along! It's not all just about collecting prizes though- bouncing off the pegs earns points and careful play will rack up your high score! The balls bounce off multiple pegs, each hit racking up points and changing the ball's path to the bottom. You can carefully aim and shoot each one, but the peg board is constantly shifting, so you'll have to rethink your strategy as you play! Hordes of special pegs shake things up, from bomb pegs to teleporter pegs! Use special multiplier pegs and bonus boxes to make that score grow and grow! Beware, prizes aren't the only things at the bottom- slimes will break your high score if you're not careful! Trade in all the coins you've collected to buy new backgrounds and ball characters to customize your game! Don't worry if you run out of balls, check back later and you'll have more available! “Never before have bouncing balls been so hypnotizing!” “More fun than Angry Birds!” Fun is just a bounce away! Features: - Over 30 prizes to collect! - Mobile pegs that change as you play! - Multiple puzzles to complete, with each puzzle set showing a different story! - Over 25 achievements to complete! - A huge variety of special bonus effects to collect from the bonus box! - Combines some of the action you loved in Peggle and Plinko Check back for new prizes, new customizations and more!

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Paplinko at 4.6 against A Swing Monkey's 3.5. Paplinko also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 46%) and ratings volume (727 vs 8). A Swing Monkey's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (4.3 vs 12.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
