Both are free to download. Sisyphos sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Vacuum Warrior sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Vacuum Warrior holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 389 and 665 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Sisyphos's written reviews are positive against 80% of Vacuum Warrior's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
