Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Mars Race at 100% against Occupy Mars's 13%. Mars Race also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 5) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). Occupy Mars's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 months). On price, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
