To start, players purchase and deploy an army with 40 points. Units have varied costs and abilities, so arrange your army on the battlefield as desired. The player’s army is positioned on the bottom half of the battlefield and they will always swipe up at the enemy army, which is deployed at the top of the battlefield.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Bantam Bash at none against Swipe War's 7. Bantam Bash also leads on ads (none vs shown). Swipe War's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
