Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Rocket Launch Daily at none against Space Launch Now's 19. Rocket Launch Daily also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.5 vs 18.0). Space Launch Now's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 48 months) and chart position (#148 vs unranked). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
