Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Cosmos at none against pxSat3D's 2. Cosmos also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 3 months). pxSat3D's advantage is device support (4 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
