Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Phira at none against StarFlow Arcade's 1. Phira also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (881 vs 1). StarFlow Arcade's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
