Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Sonic Mania Plus at none against Infinite Ignition's shown. Sonic Mania Plus also leads on ratings volume (29K vs 5). Infinite Ignition's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 74%) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
