Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SCOOCS at none against NeverBeLonely's 11. SCOOCS also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18). NeverBeLonely's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
