Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Ridgetop at 5.0 against Xactimate's 4.6. Ridgetop also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). Xactimate's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (8.3K vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
