Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: hocus. at none against Ski Safari 2's 10. hocus. also leads on review sentiment (87% vs 64%). Ski Safari 2's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (1.9K vs 234). On update cadence, ads, chart position and device support there is nothing between them.

Ski Safari 2 costs $0.99 and hocus. $1.99 up front. Ski Safari 2 sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. hocus. asks for nothing beyond the download.
Ski Safari 2 holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ski Safari 2 has 1.9K ratings behind it against 234, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Ski Safari 2's written reviews are positive against 87% of hocus.'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Ski Safari 2 ships an update monthly, hocus. every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on October 26, 2026.
