Dock Rush also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 4 weeks). Simon's Cat's advantage is ratings volume (31K vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Simon's Cat sells 13 one-off in-app purchases and Dock Rush sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
