Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Rush at weekly against Broadway.com's every 2 months. Rush also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). Broadway.com's advantage is ratings volume (2.1K vs 6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
