Both are free to download. Spider King sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and The Mind Controller sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Spider King against 4.5 for The Mind Controller. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spider King has 29K ratings behind it against 359, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 51% of Spider King's written reviews are positive against 74% of The Mind Controller's.
