Verdict
Bunk1 and TroopWebHost both sit at 4.2 stars, but that hides the real split: 77% of TroopWebHost's written reviews are positive against 46% of Bunk1's. TroopWebHost also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Bunk1's advantage is ratings volume (488 vs 39) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.1). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
