Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Chartplay at every 3 days against Trading Simulator's every 2 months. Chartplay also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 73%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Trading Simulator's advantage is ratings volume (53 vs 8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Trading Simulator sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month and Chartplay sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
