Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Takeover at Free against ISLANDERS's $4.99. Takeover also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 65%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). ISLANDERS's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
