Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Marquee Text at Free against Rolling Text's $0.99. Marquee Text also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 17 months) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). Rolling Text's advantage is ratings volume (17 vs 3). On rating, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
