Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Score at none against Games Keeper's 1. Score also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 76%). Games Keeper's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (450 vs 9). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
