Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: AVE Intercom at none against RIB Gate's 4. AVE Intercom also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 16.6). RIB Gate's advantage is review sentiment (20% vs 0%) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
