Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Idle Space Company at Free against Sys Admin Sim's $0.99. Idle Space Company also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (5.1K vs 1). Sys Admin Sim's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 16) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Idle Space Company holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Idle Space Company has 5.1K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of Idle Space Company's written reviews are positive against 100% of Sys Admin Sim's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
