Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Sci at 4.6 against Svengoolie's 3.0. Sci also leads on ratings volume (45 vs 1). Svengoolie's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sci sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Svengoolie asks for nothing beyond the download.
Sci holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sci has 45 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 21% of Svengoolie's written reviews are positive against 0% of Sci's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Svengoolie ships an update every 8 months, Sci every 18 months. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
