Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BrowserBits at none against RubySketch's 1. BrowserBits also leads on ads (none vs shown). RubySketch's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 11 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
