Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Hyper Pirate at none against Captains Idle's 1. Hyper Pirate also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 12.0). Captains Idle's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
