Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Trek 85 at Free against Spacecom's $3.99. Trek 85 also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.8) and update cadence (weekly vs every 6 months). Spacecom's advantage is ratings volume (23 vs 2) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 17.6). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
