Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Sky Ball at none against Nekosan's shown. Sky Ball also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (9.3K vs 872). Nekosan's advantage is review sentiment (83% vs 56%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
