Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Tentacle Wars ™ at 90% against Real Time Shields's 37%. Tentacle Wars ™ also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 15.0). Real Time Shields's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Tentacle Wars ™ sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Real Time Shields sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Real Time Shields holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 7.1K and 20K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 90% of Tentacle Wars ™'s written reviews are positive against 37% of Real Time Shields's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
