Dodge dense projectile patterns, break capital-ship defenses, destroy exposed boss cores, and deploy wingmates whose weapons and skills change the shape of every battle.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Bullet Commando at none against Starstrike Squadron's 10. Bullet Commando also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
