Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Bunked at 5.0 against Froomie's 4.5. Bunked also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 78%). Froomie's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 7 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
