Verdict

The call

Switched and Boop both sit at 4.2 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Boop's written reviews are positive against 55% of Switched's. Boop also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Switched's advantage is ratings volume (23 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Switched holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Switched has 23 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of Switched's written reviews are positive against 100% of Boop's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
