Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Black Walnut at none against BrushBite's 4. Black Walnut also leads on ratings volume (16 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.6). BrushBite's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
