Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Space BlocKing at Free against Fire Across's $0.99. Space BlocKing also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 36 months) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.2). Fire Across's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
