Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: BITS Marketplace at 100% against 12th Tribe's 46%. BITS Marketplace also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). 12th Tribe's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months) and rating (4.3 vs 4.0). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
12th Tribe holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 4 and 1 respectively.
