Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Sonic Boom Dash at 4.5 against Math Vs Aliens's 3.9. Sonic Boom Dash also leads on ratings volume (31K vs 8). Math Vs Aliens's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Sonic Boom Dash holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sonic Boom Dash has 31K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of Sonic Boom Dash's written reviews are positive against 100% of Math Vs Aliens's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
