Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: AR Gravity at none against Pocket Planets's shown. AR Gravity also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Pocket Planets's advantage is ratings volume (22 vs 3). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
