Both are free to download. Soulver 4 sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $26.00 per year and AppIdeasApp sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Soulver 4 against 5.0 for AppIdeasApp. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Soulver 4 has 429 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.
