Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: SodaRush at 100% against Backyard Taco's 50%. SodaRush also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 6 months). Backyard Taco's advantage is ratings volume (132 vs 13). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
