Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Optimal Being at none against RootCause's 5. Optimal Being also leads on iOS requirement (10.3 vs 15.6). RootCause's advantage is update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 32 months) and ratings volume (21 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
