Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Provision at 2.9 against Gubagoo's 1.7. Provision also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (21% vs 9%). Gubagoo's advantage is monetization model (free vs subscription). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
