Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Splat Stack at none against Magic War's 11. Splat Stack also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly). Magic War's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
