Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Space Grunt at Free against ExoArmor's $4.99. Space Grunt also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 28 months). ExoArmor's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and chart position (#199 vs unranked). On rating, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
