Verdict

The call

TV Wars and Rap Star Rapper Simulator both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 86% of Rap Star Rapper Simulator's written reviews are positive against 50% of TV Wars's. Rap Star Rapper Simulator also leads on ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#62 vs unranked). TV Wars's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
