Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Space Frontier at 4.3 against Idle Spaceship's 3.5. Space Frontier also leads on ratings volume (14K vs 2). Idle Spaceship's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Space Frontier sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Idle Spaceship asks for nothing beyond the download.
Space Frontier holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Space Frontier has 14K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 47% of Space Frontier's written reviews are positive against 50% of Idle Spaceship's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
