Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 8BPLUS at none against REEL ROCK's 10. 8BPLUS also leads on iOS requirement (9.3 vs 16.6). REEL ROCK's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 24 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
