Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Blue Corn Cafe at none against Bruster's's shown. Blue Corn Cafe also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 months) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Bruster's's advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 5). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
