Record Crate's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RedirectWeb sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per year and Record Crate sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
