Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Prayer Beads at 91% against 腕上rss's 30%. Prayer Beads also leads on rating (4.8 vs 3.7) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). 腕上rss's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
