Agar.io's advantage is ratings volume (221K vs 15K) and chart position (#189 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Agar.io sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days and Blob io sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
