Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Dragon Sniper Quest at none against Sand Magic!'s 11. Dragon Sniper Quest also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly). Sand Magic!'s advantage is ratings volume (24 vs 2). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
