Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Spoiler Season at none against Bugko's shown. Spoiler Season also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Bugko's advantage is ratings volume (89 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
