Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Needle Rush at none against Awesome Tanks's 6. Needle Rush also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 6 months). Awesome Tanks's advantage is ratings volume (2.3K vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
