Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: HorizonQuest at none against Punish Idle's 1. HorizonQuest also leads on ads (none vs shown). Punish Idle's advantage is update cadence (daily vs weekly) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.2). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
