Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: OldOfSea at none against Tribal Wars's 10. OldOfSea also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks). Tribal Wars's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (2.1K vs 5). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
