Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Tower Thrower at none against Sword and Spin!'s 19. Tower Thrower also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Sword and Spin!'s advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
