Planet Crusher also leads on chart position (#181 vs unranked). Neon Wings's advantage is ratings volume (6.6K vs 1.1K). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Planet Crusher sells 15 one-off in-app purchases and Neon Wings sells 16 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
