The clearest difference is rating: Falcon Squad at 4.6 against Chicken Invaders 3's 4.0. Falcon Squad also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (25K vs 298). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Chicken Invaders 3 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Falcon Squad sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
