Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: TinyHero at none against Samurai Mission's shown. TinyHero also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 50 months). Samurai Mission's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
