Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sol at none against Rocket Simulator's 6. Sol also leads on rating (4.0 vs 3.8) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). Rocket Simulator's advantage is ratings volume (422 vs 6) and device support. On price there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Rocket Simulator sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Sol asks for nothing beyond the download.
Sol holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rocket Simulator has 422 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two.
