Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Root at every 3 weeks against Profusion Cosmetics's every 6 months. Root also leads on review sentiment (96% vs 75%) and ratings volume (319 vs 56). Profusion Cosmetics's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
