Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Gloop at none against BlockStarPlanet's 10. Gloop also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). BlockStarPlanet's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
