Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Reality OBJ at free with in-app purchases against Cadmio's subscription. Reality OBJ also leads on update cadence (weekly vs monthly) and review sentiment (71% vs 61%). Cadmio's advantage is ratings volume (34 vs 5) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
