Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: The Operator at free against Slicer Game's free with in-app purchases. The Operator also leads on ratings volume (675 vs 9). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Slicer Game sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and The Operator sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Slicer Game against 4.9 for The Operator. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Operator has 675 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two.
