In my experience, about the same.
Both stores use automatic detection for malware, the manual testing used by _both_ store is mostly there for business reasons in my experience.
Google used to be laxer about what you could do with its APIs, but it has started to become way stricter one or two years ago.
It always cause some drama in the dev community when they stop apps from misusing an API (even if the misuse was not shady) but it is mostly for the best.
