Verdict

The call

De and Octo Boost both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Octo Boost's written reviews are positive against 49% of De's. Octo Boost also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10). De's advantage is ratings volume (3K vs 4). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
