Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Evolution Clash at none against Idle Archive's 2. Evolution Clash also leads on ads (none vs shown). Idle Archive's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
