Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Political Button Machine at none against Rise.TV's 2. Political Button Machine also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 50%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). Rise.TV's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
