Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Mathara at 5.0 against Boddle's 4.5. Mathara also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 5 weeks). Boddle's advantage is ratings volume (12K vs 2) and chart position (#200 vs unranked). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
