Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: KOULLS Store at none against Bruster's's shown. KOULLS Store also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Bruster's's advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
