Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Mars at 91% against SpacePig's 0%. Mars also leads on rating (4.8 vs 3.0) and update cadence (monthly vs every 12 months). SpacePig's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 12.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SpacePig sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Mars sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
