Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sort Adventure at none against Iron Directive's 6. Sort Adventure also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 2 days) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). Iron Directive's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
