Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Homeless Trader at none against Life Simulator's shown. Homeless Trader also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly) and ratings volume (1.5K vs 289). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Homeless Trader sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Life Simulator sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
