Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Space Mission at none against Galactos's shown. Space Mission also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.6). Galactos's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 6 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
