Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: The Army at none against Army Tycoon's shown. The Army also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). Army Tycoon's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (44% vs 30%). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
