Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Thrones War at none against Sim Empire's 12. Thrones War also leads on review sentiment (73% vs 46%). Sim Empire's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, rating, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sim Empire sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Thrones War asks for nothing beyond the download.
Sim Empire holds the better App Store score, 3.4 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sim Empire has 474 ratings behind it against 48, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of Sim Empire's written reviews are positive against 73% of Thrones War's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Sim Empire ships an update every 5 weeks, Thrones War every 4 months. Both last shipped on September 23, 2026.
