Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: i at 790 against Gigastone i's 39. i also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 10.0). Gigastone i's advantage is rating (2.5 vs 2.3) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
