Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Ape Attack at none against Hero Survivors's 5. Ape Attack also leads on ads (none vs shown). Hero Survivors's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.6). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
