Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Bridges at 100% against Bunk1's 46%. Bridges also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.2) and update cadence (daily vs every 2 months). Bunk1's advantage is ratings volume (487 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
