Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Astral Hunter at Free against Drift'n'Drive's $2.99. Astral Hunter also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 6 months) and rating (4.4 vs 4.1). Drift'n'Drive's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8) and chart position (#127 vs unranked). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
