Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Robograder at Free against My Comic Books's $0.99. Robograder also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (18 vs 3). My Comic Books's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.0) and in-app purchases (none vs 3). On ads there is nothing between them.
