Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: R at 100% against SameCube's 53%. R also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.0) and update cadence (monthly vs every 14 months). SameCube's advantage is price ($6.99 vs $29.99) and in-app purchases (none vs 3). On ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
