Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Satellite at none against Colonies at War's 5. Satellite also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.9 vs 4.6). Colonies at War's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (3.8K vs 41). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
