The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Bashtova Castle at none against Don Tzu's 1. Bashtova Castle also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). Don Tzu's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
