Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Bluestone at free against Warwick Castle's free with in-app purchases. Bluestone also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 10 months) and iOS requirement (12.4 vs 14.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
