Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Biggest Tree at 5.0 against Ant Farm Simulator's 4.1. Biggest Tree also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). Ant Farm Simulator's advantage is update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 9 months) and ratings volume (56 vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
