Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Serania at Free against Squared Circle Tycoon's $9.99. Serania also leads on ratings volume (162 vs 1) and iOS requirement (9.3 vs 13.0). Squared Circle Tycoon's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
