Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Button Tap at none against Red Button's 1. Button Tap also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 130 months). Red Button's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (76 vs 7). On price, rating, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
