Both are free to download. Transformers Rescue Bots! sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Yertle the Turtle asks for nothing beyond the download.

Transformers Rescue Bots! holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Yertle the Turtle has 1.2K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 87% of Yertle the Turtle's written reviews are positive against 83% of Transformers Rescue Bots!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
