Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SpaceController at 4.5 against Dolby XP's 2.3. SpaceController also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 months). Dolby XP's advantage is ratings volume (52 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
