Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Theft Tycoon at Free against Sys Admin Sim's $0.99. Theft Tycoon also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (7K vs 1). Sys Admin Sim's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.

Theft Tycoon is free to download; Sys Admin Sim costs $0.99 up front. Theft Tycoon sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Sys Admin Sim asks for nothing beyond the download.
Theft Tycoon holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Theft Tycoon has 7K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 87% of Theft Tycoon's written reviews are positive against 100% of Sys Admin Sim's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
