Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Buona at 58% against Rosati's's 9%. Buona also leads on rating (4.8 vs 2.6) and ads (none vs shown). Rosati's's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
