Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Zombie Derby 2 at 76% against Diggerman's 31%. Zombie Derby 2 also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.4). Diggerman's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
