The clearest difference is rating: Space Place at 5.0 against OddBalls's 4.0. Space Place also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 38 months). OddBalls's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
