Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Space at none against skyfire's 1. Space also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). skyfire's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
