Are these the same mascara?

Yes. Both are Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Washable Mascara in 0.24 fl oz with the same Flex Tower brush and bamboo extract formula. The difference is the shade: Very Black 801 versus Blackest Black 800.

Which is better for sensitive eyes?

Neither listing is a hypoallergenic or ophthalmologist-tested claim you can rely on here. A's listing mentions allergy testing and non-irritating claims, but both are the same washable formula, so pick on shade and price.

Is the price difference worth it?

Only if you want Blackest Black. The formula is identical, so paying about $3.80 more for B buys the deeper shade and the better-reviewed listing, not better performance.

Both are washable and long-lasting on the lashes, and both are 0.24 fl oz, so tube life is the same. Neither is waterproof, so both come off with warm water and cleanser.

A's listing notes it needs time to dry between coats to avoid clumps. Apply one coat, let it set, then build a second coat for more volume.

No. Maybelline's parent company L'Oréal tests on animals, so neither shade is cruelty-free.
