Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Iron Directive at 4.7 against RogueSlide's 4.2. Iron Directive also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 10 days) and review sentiment (100% vs 80%). RogueSlide's advantage is ratings volume (86 vs 7) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
