Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pocket Army at none against Robot Colony's 1. Pocket Army also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and ratings volume (2.6K vs 608). Robot Colony's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks) and review sentiment (83% vs 68%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
