Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Apex Drift at none against Sky Attack Space Shooter War's shown. Apex Drift also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 months). Sky Attack Space Shooter War's advantage is ratings volume (10 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
