Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Socky at free with in-app purchases against KRASH's subscription. Socky also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 8 months). KRASH's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
