Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Stick Brawl at none against Slash! Hero's 11. Stick Brawl also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 4 months). Slash! Hero's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
