Verdict
The clearest difference is price: ConvertMyUnits at Free against re's $1.99. ConvertMyUnits also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 8 months). re's advantage is ratings volume (7 vs 1) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On rating, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
