Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: RBA at none against Crew's 7. RBA also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Crew's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 months) and rating (4.4 vs 4.1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
