Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Checkpoint Champion at 4.3 against Tractor Mania's 3.4. Checkpoint Champion also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 50%) and ratings volume (80 vs 9). Tractor Mania's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (4.3 vs 12.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
