Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Real Deal Developer at none against AltLife Sim!'s shown. Real Deal Developer also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 69%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). AltLife Sim!'s advantage is ratings volume (1.4K vs 2) and chart position (#57 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
