Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Florisium at 1.9K against Bonsai Master's 19. Florisium also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly). Bonsai Master's advantage is iOS requirement (8.0 vs 16.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bonsai Master sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Florisium sells 23 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Florisium holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Florisium has 1.9K ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two.
