Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: SpaceOver at none against Pocket Planets's shown. SpaceOver also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Pocket Planets's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (22 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
