Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Space Shuttle AR at 4.7 against iLunolet's 4.2. Space Shuttle AR also leads on ratings volume (1.1K vs 5) and device support (3 vs 1). iLunolet's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 78%) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Space Shuttle AR holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Space Shuttle AR has 1.1K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of iLunolet's written reviews are positive against 78% of Space Shuttle AR's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
iLunolet ships an update every 6 months, Space Shuttle AR every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
