Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Emirates at none against SpaceTimeWorld's 1. Emirates also leads on chart position (#140 vs unranked). SpaceTimeWorld's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
