Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Swing Pusher at none against Swarm Simulator's 11. Swing Pusher also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Swarm Simulator's advantage is ratings volume (2.7K vs 2) and update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
