Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Squad Command at none against Starship's 8. Squad Command also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). Starship's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
