Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Asteroid Defender at none against Planet Evolution's 10. Asteroid Defender also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 78%). Planet Evolution's advantage is ratings volume (29K vs 5) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 4 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
