Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Honeyland at none against Illuvium's shown. Honeyland also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.4) and review sentiment (89% vs 68%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Honeyland sells 13 one-off in-app purchases and Illuvium sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Honeyland holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Honeyland has 614 ratings behind it against 65, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 89% of Honeyland's written reviews are positive against 68% of Illuvium's.
