Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Nextgen at 4.3 against Driver Simulator's 2.8. Nextgen also leads on review sentiment (46% vs 36%). Driver Simulator's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
