Both are free to download. Build Up!! sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Stickman Hook 2 asks for nothing beyond the download.
Build Up!! holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Build Up!! has 16K ratings behind it against 333, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 34% of Build Up!!'s written reviews are positive against 52% of Stickman Hook 2's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
