Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: BBPTA at 5.0 against C's 3.7. BBPTA also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months). C's advantage is ratings volume (166 vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
