Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Roga at 4.7 against Somnee's 3.7. Roga also leads on monetization model (free vs paid) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). Somnee's advantage is ratings volume (71 vs 10) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
