Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CardRun 2 at none against Auto Pirates's 3. CardRun 2 also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks). Auto Pirates's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18). On price there is nothing between them.
