Verdict
Build Your Rocket and Mars Rescue both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 50% of Mars Rescue's written reviews are positive against 0% of Build Your Rocket's. Build Your Rocket's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
