The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Rust Notifications at every 2 days against GameSir's every 3 weeks. Rust Notifications also leads on rating (2.9 vs 2.5) and review sentiment (25% vs 11%). GameSir's advantage is ratings volume (1.2K vs 20). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
