Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ArcadeMania at 4.4 against Gamisodes's 3.0. ArcadeMania also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 14) and ads (none vs shown). Gamisodes's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs monthly). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
