Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: MSTm at free against Rocketbook App's free with in-app purchases. MSTm also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.4). Rocketbook App's advantage is ratings volume (31K vs 1) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 7 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
