Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: HELI 100 at none against War Tortoise's shown. HELI 100 also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months). War Tortoise's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.4) and review sentiment (86% vs 71%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
