Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Snatch City at none against Blue Box Simulator's 3. Snatch City also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 79%). Blue Box Simulator's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly) and device support (3 vs 1). On price there is nothing between them.
