Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Saturn Loop at 5.0 against Cracker Head's 1.8. Saturn Loop also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 9 days). Cracker Head's advantage is ratings volume (84 vs 2) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
