Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Assignr at 4.9 against RefTown Mobile's 3.3. Assignr also leads on ratings volume (8.9K vs 12) and review sentiment (73% vs 50%). RefTown Mobile's advantage is monetization model (free vs subscription) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
