Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: G at none against Robert Parker's 1. G also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs monthly) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.6). Robert Parker's advantage is chart position (#56 vs unranked). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
