Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Basurify at Free against iTablaPro's $29.99. Basurify also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks). iTablaPro's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (416 vs 3). On in-app purchases, monetization model, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
