Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: GitBuddy at none against Bailiwik's shown. GitBuddy also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.1). Bailiwik's advantage is ratings volume (15 vs 1). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
