Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ねこつめ3 at none against Sumikkogurashi's 10. ねこつめ3 also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). Sumikkogurashi's advantage is ratings volume (730 vs 2) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
