Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Auction Operation at 5.0 against gpbid's 4.2. Auction Operation also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). gpbid's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 12 months) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
