Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Bridge Mentor at 4.4 against Robson Bridge's 1.3. Bridge Mentor also leads on review sentiment (56% vs 29%) and ratings volume (680 vs 3). Robson Bridge's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
