Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Slime Miner Explorer at none against Colony Master's 10. Slime Miner Explorer also leads on ads (none vs shown). Colony Master's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 9 days) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
