Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Splash Sort at 3.1K against Astral Bloom's 3. Splash Sort also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Astral Bloom's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 6 days vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
