Both are free to download. Bug Heroes Quest sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Tallowmere 2 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Tallowmere 2 holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 65 and 136 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of Bug Heroes Quest's written reviews are positive against 77% of Tallowmere 2's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
