Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Baboon at Free against Elephant Simulator's $0.99. Baboon also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 5 months vs every 49 months). Elephant Simulator's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.
