Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Rolling Stone UK at free with in-app purchases against Ham&High's subscription. Ham&High's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 months vs every 13 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
