Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: The Spitfire at none against Stella Rush's 10. The Spitfire also leads on ads (none vs shown). Stella Rush's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 6 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
