Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Tiny Thinker at none against Virtual Families's 10. Tiny Thinker also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks). Virtual Families's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.4). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
