Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Space Rocket Exploration at 69% against Hydrothermal Lite's 40%. Space Rocket Exploration also leads on ratings volume (313 vs 2) and device support. Hydrothermal Lite's advantage is rating (4.0 vs 3.7) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Hydrothermal Lite holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Space Rocket Exploration has 313 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of Hydrothermal Lite's written reviews are positive against 69% of Space Rocket Exploration's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
