Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Space Defenders at Free against Fiveish's $2.99. Space Defenders also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.4). Fiveish's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs monthly). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
