Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Boka at 100% against SuperBookCity's 2%. Boka also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). SuperBookCity's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
