Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Swing at none against Nekosan's 5. Swing also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Swing against 4.6 for Nekosan. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Swing has 5K ratings behind it against 872, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 93% of Swing's written reviews are positive against 83% of Nekosan's.
Swing ships an update fortnightly, Nekosan every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
