Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Spaceflight Simulator at none against Extreme Landings's shown. Spaceflight Simulator also leads on review sentiment (85% vs 54%) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months). Extreme Landings's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
