Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: War Tycoon at 86% against Commodity Wars's 42%. War Tycoon also leads on rating (4.6 vs 3.2) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 31). Commodity Wars's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
