Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Owl Jump at none against Vertigus's shown. Owl Jump also leads on rating (4.3 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (69 vs 2). Vertigus's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 30 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Owl Jump sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Vertigus sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
