Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: BC4000 at 4.4 against Thrones War's 3.1. BC4000 also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (290 vs 49). Thrones War's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
