Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Tap Wars! at none against Cookie Clickers's 16. Tap Wars! also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.6 vs 4.1). Cookie Clickers's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (5.1K vs 18). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
