Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Brollie at none against Digital Stage's 3. Brollie also leads on update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 7 months). Digital Stage's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
