Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Seaplane at 65% against Black Space Lite's 30%. Seaplane also leads on rating (4.3 vs 3.8) and ratings volume (79 vs 5). Black Space Lite's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 19) and update cadence (every 5 months vs every 21 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
