Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Card Invaders at none against Idle Chest's 5. Card Invaders also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Idle Chest's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 6 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
