Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Space Squad Survival at 4.7 against Neon Spellstorm's 4.1. Space Squad Survival also leads on ratings volume (1.2K vs 39) and review sentiment (85% vs 68%). Neon Spellstorm's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs every 4 days). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
