Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Colony Attack at none against Star Trek Timelines's shown. Colony Attack also leads on review sentiment (79% vs 59%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Star Trek Timelines's advantage is ratings volume (7.5K vs 205) and chart position (#119 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
