Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Starhaven at none against DEAD TRIGGER 2's 10. Starhaven also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 6 weeks). DEAD TRIGGER 2's advantage is ratings volume (112K vs 15) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
