Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: RIBnet Forums at 94% against XenHub's 0%. RIBnet Forums also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 16.4). XenHub's advantage is rating (3.0 vs 1.0) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). On price, ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

XenHub holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 1.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1 and 2 respectively.
