Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: formula telemetry at 5.0 against Cruise Ship Simulator 3D's 2.4. formula telemetry also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 7 months). Cruise Ship Simulator 3D's advantage is ratings volume (226 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
