Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: App Spotshot at none against Deneb Astro Tool's 2. App Spotshot also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Deneb Astro Tool's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 weeks). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
