Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Space Arena at Free against Cows In Space's $1.99. Space Arena also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 9 months) and ratings volume (18K vs 43). Cows In Space's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On rating and device support there is nothing between them.
