Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ALIVE at 5.0 against Building Destruction's 4.2. ALIVE also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 74%). Building Destruction's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (1.6K vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
