Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: AeroRotationSim at none against Orbit 360's 4. AeroRotationSim also leads on ads (none vs shown). Orbit 360's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 6 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
