Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: MoonBox at none against Zombie Outbreak Simulator's shown. MoonBox also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). Zombie Outbreak Simulator's advantage is ratings volume (1.7K vs 248). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Zombie Outbreak Simulator sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and MoonBox sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
