Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: The Big 2 at none against War Master's 20. The Big 2 also leads on ads (none vs shown). War Master's advantage is ratings volume (417 vs 3) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.
