Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Final Outpost at free against Zombie Outbreak Simulator Pro's paid. Final Outpost also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and rating (4.5 vs 4.3). Zombie Outbreak Simulator Pro's advantage is ratings volume (321 vs 37) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and chart position there is nothing between them.
