Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Helicopter Hostility at none against Air Cavalry's 10. Helicopter Hostility also leads on ads (none vs shown). Air Cavalry's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 57 months) and ratings volume (8.6K vs 26). On price, review sentiment, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
