Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Sal's at none against BWB Rewards's shown. Sal's also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). BWB Rewards's advantage is ratings volume (6.8K vs 9) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
