Verdict

The call

Space Shuttle AR and Flight Rush! both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 78% of Space Shuttle AR's written reviews are positive against 28% of Flight Rush!'s. Space Shuttle AR also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Flight Rush!'s advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (4.1K vs 1.1K). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
