Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Industrious Office at 50% against Spaces's 7%. Industrious Office also leads on rating (4.9 vs 3.4) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Spaces's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
