Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Bouncing Bean at free against Gymboree's free with in-app purchases. Bouncing Bean also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 80%) and iOS requirement (12.1 vs 15.1). Gymboree's advantage is ratings volume (11K vs 3). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Gymboree against 5.0 for Bouncing Bean.

Written reviews are what separate them: 80% of Gymboree's written reviews are positive against 100% of Bouncing Bean's.
