Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Kaiser 64 at none against Ozymandias's 9. Kaiser 64 also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and price ($0.99 vs $3.99). Ozymandias's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks) and chart position (#109 vs unranked). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
