The clearest difference is review sentiment: Project Peon at 100% against Galactic Merge Idle's 7%. Project Peon also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.5 vs 4.3). Galactic Merge Idle's advantage is ratings volume (1.8K vs 8) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
