Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: AIB Mobile at none against GigBook's 3. AIB Mobile also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). GigBook's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
