Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Rainbow Shops at none against 6pm's shown. Rainbow Shops also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). 6pm's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, rating, review sentiment and ratings volume there is nothing between them.
