Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Warlands at 4.0 against War Board Game's 2.5. Warlands also leads on ratings volume (167 vs 2) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 6 months). War Board Game's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
