Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Dinosaur Simulator at none against Dinosaur Safari's 8. Dinosaur Simulator also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 7 months). Dinosaur Safari's advantage is ratings volume (46 vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
