Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: FighterPlane+ at none against Starwave Shooter's shown. FighterPlane+ also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.2). Starwave Shooter's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 137 months). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
