Verdict
The clearest difference is price: RuinFilter at Free against iCPainter's $1.99. RuinFilter also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 4 months). iCPainter's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (14.2 vs 16.0). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
