Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Source Recycle at Free against Bouncer's $9.99. Source Recycle also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 5 months). Bouncer's advantage is ratings volume (509 vs 1) and chart position (#31 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
