The clearest difference is rating: World Empire at 4.3 against SimTurk's 3.2. World Empire also leads on ratings volume (536 vs 5) and review sentiment (63% vs 40%). SimTurk's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
