Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Future Earth at 60% against Earth and Science's 17%. Future Earth also leads on rating (4.6 vs 3.5) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 15 months). Earth and Science's advantage is iOS requirement (9.0 vs 14.0). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
