Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sotial at none against PolaPop's 1. Sotial also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). PolaPop's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 days). On price, rating, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
