Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Awardco at 4.6 against Rocket Start's 2.5. Awardco also leads on ratings volume (75 vs 2) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 2 months). Rocket Start's advantage is monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
