Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Alien at none against Boppets's shown. Alien also leads on chart position (#150 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (16.5 vs 18.0). Boppets's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
