Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Hainan Airlines at none against SpaceTimeWorld's 1. Hainan Airlines also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). SpaceTimeWorld's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
