Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Starborn Rebels at Free against Flare Elite's $0.99. Starborn Rebels also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 84 months). Flare Elite's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 15.0). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
