Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Hegemon at 4.1 against Red Zones's 3.0. Hegemon also leads on ratings volume (68 vs 2). Red Zones's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
