Verdict

The call

Foundation and Spaceland both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 62% of Foundation's written reviews are positive against 35% of Spaceland's. Foundation also leads on ratings volume (9.1K vs 581) and chart position (#13 vs unranked). Spaceland's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
