Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Ellipse at 4.7 against Space Debris Clicker's 3.0. Ellipse also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (monthly vs every 7 months). Space Debris Clicker's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Ellipse sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Space Debris Clicker sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Ellipse holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ellipse has 2K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Ellipse ships an update monthly, Space Debris Clicker every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
