Verdict
The clearest difference is price: ZAstronomy at Free against Math Animations's $8.99. ZAstronomy also leads on update cadence (every 4 months vs every 9 months). Math Animations's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
