Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Swarm Simulator at Free against DCS Warthog Device's $5.99. Swarm Simulator also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (2.7K vs 2). DCS Warthog Device's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 11) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.
