Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Art Space at 4.4 against Star Sharing's 1.0. Art Space also leads on ratings volume (224 vs 2) and update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months). Star Sharing's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
