Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Digital Trends Bundle at 100% against Sofa's 60%. Digital Trends Bundle also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). Sofa's advantage is monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and ratings volume (3.1K vs 7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Sofa sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Digital Trends Bundle sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Digital Trends Bundle holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sofa has 3.1K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 60% of Sofa's written reviews are positive against 100% of Digital Trends Bundle's.
