Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Idle Cosmo Maker at every 2 weeks against Planet simulation's every 8 months. Idle Cosmo Maker also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 13.0). Planet simulation's advantage is review sentiment (74% vs 50%) and ratings volume (165 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
