Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Tower Defense byDefectiveRobot at none against Geometry Rush TD's 7. Tower Defense byDefectiveRobot also leads on ads (none vs shown). Geometry Rush TD's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly) and device support (3 vs 1). On price there is nothing between them.
