The Pétanque app allows you to quickly know who is the closest to the jack, and to know the distance between the boules and the jack during a pétanque game. Extremely simple and intuitive to use, just keep your device horizontally over the game and a photo is taken automatically using the embedded bubble level. The IA then detects the jack and the boules, estimates the distances, and the app numbers the boules from the closest to the farthest. And Voilà! You can now see who is the closest and see the balls ranking and their estimated distances from the jack. It's that simple! If the IA makes mistakes during the detection, you can: - edit the jack by changing its position and size if it is incorrectly positioned - edit a boule by changing its position and size if it is incorrectly positioned - chose another jack if the app has detected several potential jacks and hadn't selected the good one - delete a boule or a jack detected by mistake - add a boule or the jack which hadn't been detected by activating the 'tap' mode and by taping on it directly Read the embedded tutorial to know everything about the app. If you have any issue, question or suggestion, just drop us an email at support@seb-appstore.com Check out many other great iPhone and iPad apps at seb-appstore.com You can find the app's terms of use at http://www.seb-appstore.com/PrivacyNotices/PetanqueTermsOfUse.php

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Cochonnet at none against Pétanque's shown. Cochonnet also leads on iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
