Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Deadclock at 100% against BuildCores's 72%. Deadclock also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). BuildCores's advantage is ratings volume (1.9K vs 4) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
