Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Hitman at 4.9 against Sifu's 3.7. Hitman also leads on review sentiment (87% vs 47%) and ratings volume (819 vs 117). Sifu's advantage is price ($7.99 vs $14.99) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and chart position there is nothing between them.
