Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: The Spitfire at none against Destroy Them's 2. The Spitfire also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 83%). Destroy Them's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.0) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 6 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Destroy Them sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. The Spitfire asks for nothing beyond the download.
Destroy Them holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Destroy Them has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Destroy Them's written reviews are positive against 100% of The Spitfire's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Destroy Them ships an update every 3 months, The Spitfire every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and June 5, 2026 respectively.
