Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: GeekLink at none against Buce Plant's shown. GeekLink also leads on update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). Buce Plant's advantage is ratings volume (787 vs 2) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
