Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: ⊲Spider at 4.8 against Hearthstone's 4.1. ⊲Spider also leads on review sentiment (75% vs 36%) and in-app purchases (none vs 32). Hearthstone's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 29 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
