Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Rule Referee at 5.0 against Dized's 4.6. Rule Referee also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). Dized's advantage is ratings volume (328 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
