Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: DropDesk Spaces at 100% against Spaces's 7%. DropDesk Spaces also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.4) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Spaces's advantage is ratings volume (118 vs 5). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

DropDesk Spaces holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.4.
