Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Young's at 4.0 against BonAppi's 2.5. Young's also leads on ratings volume (838 vs 34) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 6 months). BonAppi's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
