Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Elastic Playground at none against SpaceBots.'s 2. Elastic Playground also leads on ratings volume (3K vs 14) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 9 months). SpaceBots.'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
