Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Solar System 3D at 68% against Solar System's 38%. Solar System 3D also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 14 months) and iOS requirement (4.3 vs 11.0). Solar System's advantage is rating (4.0 vs 3.6). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
