Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Tiny Island at 5.0 against Tiny Acres's 4.5. Tiny Island also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 weeks). Tiny Acres's advantage is ratings volume (19 vs 2) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
