Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Island Saver at none against Talking Tom Time Rush's 3. Island Saver also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.8 vs 4.3). Talking Tom Time Rush's advantage is ratings volume (16K vs 8) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, review sentiment, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Talking Tom Time Rush sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Island Saver asks for nothing beyond the download.
Island Saver holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Talking Tom Time Rush has 16K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Island Saver's written reviews are positive against 76% of Talking Tom Time Rush's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Island Saver ships an update every 4 months, Talking Tom Time Rush every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
