Both are free to download. Sisyphos sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Chiba 2149 asks for nothing beyond the download.
Chiba 2149 holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sisyphos has 389 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Sisyphos's written reviews are positive against 80% of Chiba 2149's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
