Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: VoltStrike at none against North Shore Data Center Tycoon's 8. VoltStrike also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.0). North Shore Data Center Tycoon's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and device support (6 vs 3). On price there is nothing between them.
