Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Idle Universe at Free against Super Flipside's $1.99. Idle Universe also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 9 months) and ratings volume (1.5K vs 8). Super Flipside's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.
