Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Stickman Surfer at 77% against Cobi Hoops's 33%. Stickman Surfer also leads on rating (4.7 vs 2.5) and ratings volume (6.1K vs 157). Cobi Hoops's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 17 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
