Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Simple Reversi Board at none against Othello's 10. Simple Reversi Board also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 11 months). Othello's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
