Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Capture Castle at Free against Spacecom's $3.99. Capture Castle also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.8) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 6 months). Spacecom's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (23 vs 1). On in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
