The clearest difference is rating: Incubator! at 4.1 against Alien Raid's 3.6. Incubator! also leads on review sentiment (38% vs 22%) and ratings volume (352 vs 30). Alien Raid's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Incubator! sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Alien Raid asks for nothing beyond the download.

Incubator! holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.6.
