The clearest difference is rating: Tiny Worlds at 4.7 against Samawa Idle's 3.4. Tiny Worlds also leads on ratings volume (2.3K vs 25) and review sentiment (61% vs 41%). Samawa Idle's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
