Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Hotel Venture at 4.6 against Colonize Mars's 1.5. Hotel Venture also leads on ratings volume (453 vs 11). Colonize Mars's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and review sentiment (33% vs 19%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hotel Venture sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Colonize Mars asks for nothing beyond the download.
Hotel Venture holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 1.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hotel Venture has 453 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Colonize Mars's written reviews are positive against 19% of Hotel Venture's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
