Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Riptide at free against The ToolBox's free with in-app purchases. Riptide also leads on iOS requirement (13.4 vs 16.4). The ToolBox's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
