Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Rocket Touchdown at Free against Space Agency's $1.99. Rocket Touchdown also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 months). Space Agency's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (738 vs 1). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
