Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SpaceShard at none against Brickforge's 10. SpaceShard also leads on ads (none vs shown). Brickforge's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 months) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.5). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
