Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Space Snack Empire at none against HatchPals's 6. Space Snack Empire also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 weeks). HatchPals's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
