Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Immersion at none against Crosstalk's 1. Immersion also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.5). Crosstalk's advantage is ratings volume (283 vs 9). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
