Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Dragon Sim at Free against Bitardia's $2.99. Dragon Sim also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (1.9K vs 3). Bitardia's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Dragon Sim holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dragon Sim has 1.9K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Dragon Sim's written reviews are positive against 67% of Bitardia's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
