Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Space Span at none against Cosmic Flex's shown. Space Span also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Cosmic Flex's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 months) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.6). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
