Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Sidekicked at none against Ski Jump 18's shown. Sidekicked also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 months). Ski Jump 18's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
