Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: RSS Mobile at none against Bubble's shown. RSS Mobile also leads on ratings volume (57 vs 1) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Bubble's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
