Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Suwatte at 5.0 against Eclipse's 4.5. Suwatte also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). Eclipse's advantage is ratings volume (11 vs 1). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Eclipse sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Suwatte asks for nothing beyond the download.
Suwatte holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Eclipse has 11 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Suwatte's written reviews are positive against 89% of Eclipse's.
