Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Rect Raider at none against Samurai Flash's 5. Rect Raider also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 73%). Samurai Flash's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (29K vs 4). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
