Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Solar System Builder AR at 4.7 against Planets AR's 3.7. Solar System Builder AR also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (194 vs 6). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Solar System Builder AR sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Planets AR sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Solar System Builder AR holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Solar System Builder AR has 194 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 94% of Solar System Builder AR's written reviews are positive against 100% of Planets AR's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
