Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Idle Deck Builder at none against CivRise's 9. Idle Deck Builder also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (50% vs 33%). CivRise's advantage is rating (3.3 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (24 vs 5). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

CivRise holds the better App Store score, 3.3 against 3.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 5 and 24 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Idle Deck Builder's written reviews are positive against 33% of CivRise's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
