Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Birch Lane at none against Rugs.com's shown. Birch Lane also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 50%) and ratings volume (9.3K vs 34). Rugs.com's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
