Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: FlashInvaders at none against Stride's shown. FlashInvaders also leads on review sentiment (77% vs 45%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Stride's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 11 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
