Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Aether Pulse at none against Cartoon Survivor's 11. Aether Pulse also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). Cartoon Survivor's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
