Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: NinjAwesome at 93% against Drop Wizard Tower's 51%. NinjAwesome also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 86). Drop Wizard Tower's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 11 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
