Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Bawabat at 100% against My RedBox's 36%. Bawabat also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). My RedBox's advantage is ratings volume (1.3K vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
