Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Giftstation at 67% against All About Auctions's 33%. Giftstation also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 20 months). All About Auctions's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
