Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Roia at every 10 days against Board Game Construction iKit's every 47 months. Roia also leads on chart position (#140 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). Board Game Construction iKit's advantage is price ($0.99 vs $2.99). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
