Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Apollo Space Flight Agency at 3.8 against Space Simulator's 2.7. Apollo Space Flight Agency also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 26) and review sentiment (34% vs 15%). Space Simulator's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 5 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
