Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: U at free against Busch Gardens's free with in-app purchases. U also leads on iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.6). Busch Gardens's advantage is ratings volume (61K vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Busch Gardens against 5.0 for U. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Busch Gardens has 61K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
