Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Ruthless Conquest at none against Swarm Game's 12. Ruthless Conquest also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). Swarm Game's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.3) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 9 months). On price, ratings volume and device support there is nothing between them.
