Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Sherlock Bones at 100% against Duck Game Bird Simulator's 58%. Sherlock Bones also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 13.0). Duck Game Bird Simulator's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (812 vs 14). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Duck Game Bird Simulator holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Duck Game Bird Simulator has 812 ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Sherlock Bones's written reviews are positive against 58% of Duck Game Bird Simulator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Sherlock Bones ships an update every 3 weeks, Duck Game Bird Simulator every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
