Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Arctic Expedition at none against Swing Trials's 1. Arctic Expedition also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 25 months). Swing Trials's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.6). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
