Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: BBPTA at every 10 days against Greater LI's every 3 months. BBPTA also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Greater LI's advantage is ratings volume (24 vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
