Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Adventure Lab® at 83% against Custom Bingo's 38%. Adventure Lab® also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.9 vs 4.4). Custom Bingo's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Adventure Lab® holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Adventure Lab® has 6.5K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 38% of Custom Bingo's written reviews are positive against 83% of Adventure Lab®'s.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
