Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Data Crash at 5.0 against Barkeology's 4.3. Barkeology's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (6 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Barkeology sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Data Crash sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Data Crash holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Barkeology has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
