Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Client Diary at none against Ruby's 6. Client Diary also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.1). Ruby's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
