Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Snowflakes Arcade Challenge at none against Core Arcade's shown. Snowflakes Arcade Challenge also leads on iOS requirement (6.0 vs 17.0). Core Arcade's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 7 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
