Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Hand Control at 4.5 against Starfield 3D's 2.8. Hand Control also leads on ratings volume (769 vs 5) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). Starfield 3D's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
