Verdict
The clearest difference is price: REST API Client at Free against Cicero's $2.99. REST API Client also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). Cicero's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On ratings volume, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
