Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: RAKEZ at none against DIFC+'s shown. RAKEZ also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). DIFC+'s advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
