Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Sonic Surfer at none against Om Nom's shown. Sonic Surfer also leads on review sentiment (91% vs 62%) and rating (4.8 vs 4.4). Om Nom's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 16 months) and ratings volume (4K vs 4). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sonic Surfer sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Om Nom sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
