Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: X at 100% against Bunk1's 46%. X also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.2) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Bunk1's advantage is ratings volume (488 vs 19) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
