Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 88 constellations at none against Constellation Map mobile's 1. 88 constellations also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Constellation Map mobile's advantage is ratings volume (4.6K vs 1) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 4 months). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
