Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Clay Island at 85% against Survival Island's 16%. Clay Island also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4).

Both are free to download. Survival Island sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Clay Island asks for nothing beyond the download.
Survival Island holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 295 and 508 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of Clay Island's written reviews are positive against 16% of Survival Island's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Clay Island ships an update monthly, Survival Island every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and August 21, 2026 respectively.
