Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Ravinia at 4.6 against Thingvellir's 2.0. Ravinia also leads on update cadence (every 6 months vs every 86 months) and ratings volume (4.1K vs 1). Thingvellir's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
