Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is chart position: Ouros at #170 against Sokobond's unranked. Ouros also leads on ratings volume (82 vs 18). Sokobond's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 90%) and price ($0.99 vs $2.99). On rating, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Ouros holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 18 and 82 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Sokobond's written reviews are positive against 90% of Ouros's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
