Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Fish Farm at 86% against AquaLife 3D's 58%. Fish Farm also leads on rating (4.3 vs 3.9) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 4 months). AquaLife 3D's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs paid). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
