Verdict
The clearest difference is price: FrontRunner at Free against SpaceCorp's $6.99. FrontRunner also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.1) and review sentiment (100% vs 72%). SpaceCorp's advantage is chart position (#197 vs unranked) and ratings volume (23 vs 3). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

FrontRunner is free to download; SpaceCorp costs $6.99 up front. SpaceCorp sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and FrontRunner sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
FrontRunner holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SpaceCorp has 23 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 72% of SpaceCorp's written reviews are positive against 100% of FrontRunner's.
