Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Button Bash Brawl at none against Sky Defense's shown. Button Bash Brawl also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Sky Defense's advantage is ratings volume (11K vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
