Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Wavefront at Free against Orbital Invaders's $0.99. Wavefront also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 3 weeks). Orbital Invaders's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
