Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Minimal Life at none against Idle Superpowers's 10. Minimal Life also leads on ads (none vs shown). Idle Superpowers's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
