You're the only one close enough to rescue them, but your spaceship the Wanderer, is just a cargo spaceship, it does not have guns and in these remote sectors of the galaxy a lot of bad things can happen.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Star Rescue at none against CRT's shown. Star Rescue also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). CRT's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 55 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
