Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: RUUT at none against Taxcon's 1. RUUT also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 9 months). Taxcon's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (10.3 vs 16.0). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
