Verdict

The call

Bug Identifier Insect Finder and ReadyRuck both sit at 4.3 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of ReadyRuck's written reviews are positive against 59% of Bug Identifier Insect Finder's. ReadyRuck also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). Bug Identifier Insect Finder's advantage is ratings volume (249 vs 4) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.5). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
