Launching a rocket is not an easy job. It must be done with perfect accuracy or consequences could be fatal. This requires tons of mathematical calculations... in real life. But in this game, you just need to tap the buttons in the right order and at a good angle so your rocket can be launched into the orbit safely. You can steer the rocket a bit by turning your device to the sides which may save you a few launch attempts. Good launching! ;)

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Idle Rocket Launch at 4.7 against Rocket Launcher's 3.9. Idle Rocket Launch also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 7 months) and review sentiment (77% vs 56%). Rocket Launcher's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
