Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Game XO at none against BallBastic!'s 13. Game XO also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 4 days). BallBastic!'s advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.2). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
