Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Space Force Hero at none against Taco's shown. Space Force Hero also leads on device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.0). Taco's advantage is ratings volume (299 vs 1). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Taco sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Space Force Hero sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Space Force Hero holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Taco has 299 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
