Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Shaky Totems at none against Ball King's 10. Shaky Totems also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months). Ball King's advantage is ratings volume (2K vs 17). On price, rating, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
