Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Door at free against Star Admiral's free with in-app purchases. Door also leads on update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly) and ratings volume (6 vs 1). Star Admiral's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Door sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Star Admiral sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Star Admiral holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Door has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
