Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Planet Smashers at none against AstraBlast's 3. Planet Smashers also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). AstraBlast's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
