Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: StarDB at 67% against Utopia's 19%. StarDB also leads on rating (3.0 vs 2.4). Utopia's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
