Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Lunar Lander Mission at none against Tiny Space Program's shown. Lunar Lander Mission also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 months). Tiny Space Program's advantage is review sentiment (81% vs 52%) and ratings volume (1.7K vs 168). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
