Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Cell to Singularity at 4.8 against Isotopolis's 4.2. Cell to Singularity also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 37 months) and ratings volume (23K vs 10). Isotopolis's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 21) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
