Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Smash Champs at 4.6 against Spiral's 3.8. Smash Champs also leads on review sentiment (66% vs 35%) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 21 months). Spiral's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 12.2). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
