Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Real Member at 100% against Theory's 18%. Real Member also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). Theory's advantage is ratings volume (912 vs 5) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
