Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Space Crew Dragon at Free against Space Agency's $1.99. Space Crew Dragon also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 11). Space Agency's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 38 months). On device support there is nothing between them.
