Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: BarnZs at 5.0 against BIB Mobile's 1.5. BarnZs also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). BIB Mobile's advantage is ratings volume (17 vs 3). On price, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
