Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: La pétanque at 4.3 against Bocce 3D's 3.8. La pétanque also leads on review sentiment (70% vs 39%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 months). Bocce 3D's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (221 vs 12). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
