Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Terracatch at Free against ATOM RPG's $9.99. Terracatch also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 weeks). ATOM RPG's advantage is iOS requirement (12.2 vs 16.0). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
