Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Tower Scramble at none against Digfender's shown. Tower Scramble also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months). Digfender's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
