Verdict
Rockbot and WUTK both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of WUTK's written reviews are positive against 39% of Rockbot's. WUTK also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Rockbot's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 17 months) and ratings volume (67K vs 15). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
