Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Popar Planets at Free against mySolar's $14.99. Popar Planets also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 16.6). mySolar's advantage is ratings volume (408 vs 4) and rating (4.2 vs 4.0). On review sentiment, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
