Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Cosmo Explorer at none against Leaving home's 1. Cosmo Explorer also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 11 days vs every 6 weeks). Leaving home's advantage is ratings volume (429 vs 2). On price, review sentiment, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
