Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: stranzer at 5.0 against ArcadeMania's 4.4. stranzer also leads on monetization model (free vs paid) and review sentiment (100% vs 75%). ArcadeMania's advantage is ratings volume (129 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
