Do you hate ads? Do you hate in-app purchases? Yeah well we do too which is why we created UP. UP is the ONLY game on the app store where you can get rid of ads by just playing! Here’s how it works: When you first get the game, You will be graced with an ad every time you lose, but as you improve at the game, you will begin to receive less and less ads until you hit 2000m (yes, although it’s hard, it is possible to get that far). This is a simple, one touch game. Each tap changes the horizontal direction of the ball, allowing you to avoid each obstacle as they approach you at progressively faster and faster speeds. GAME FEATURES: Endless, obstacle avoiding game play that included fun music and cool animations The ability to unlock new icons as you improve in score The ability to go AD FREE for FREE Color theme changes Unique and challenging obstacles 0 in-app purchases AD SCHEME: In UP, ads are displayed on a per game over basis (each # is ads per game over): 1: 0-699m 2: 700-999m 3: 1000-1399m 4: 1400-1699m 5: 1700-1899m 6: 1900-1999m NO ADS @ 2000m! https://jaredweinsteingames.com/app-ads.txt

Arcflare: Neon Drift is a minimalist neon arcade game where one finger controls pure momentum. Hold anywhere on the screen to pull your comet into a slow-motion orbit. Release at the perfect angle to launch along the tangent. Every touch becomes a high-speed decision: play safe, or skim close to red danger zones for near-miss points and bigger combos. How it plays - Hold anywhere to anchor into bullet time - Release to sling forward on a tangent line - Graze hazards for risky near-miss bonuses - Chain clean moves to build combos - Unlock neon skins and push for a new best run Built for fast restarts, portrait play, and that “one more try” score chase. Arcflare: Neon Drift is free to play and includes optional ads and in-app purchases. Rewarded ads are optional and can grant gems or a continue when available. Can you keep your line clean when the whole field turns dangerous?

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: [UP] at none against Neon Drift's 2. Neon Drift's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
