Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Cocoa Stack at none against Crossy Road's 10. Cocoa Stack also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Crossy Road's advantage is ratings volume (741K vs 1) and chart position (#9 vs unranked). On price there is nothing between them.
