Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: R at 3.2 against G4S Mobile's 1.0. R also leads on ratings volume (38 vs 1). G4S Mobile's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 14 months) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
