Verdict
Germs Lite and Virus attack™ both sit at 2.3 stars, but that hides the real split: 70% of Germs Lite's written reviews are positive against 6% of Virus attack™'s. Germs Lite also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 8) and ads (none vs shown). Virus attack™'s advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (93 vs 16). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.
