Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: StrikeMaster at none against Bosc's shown. StrikeMaster also leads on device support (3 vs 1). Bosc's advantage is ratings volume (483 vs 61) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.
