Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: RefsWatch Dev at none against Rugby Board's 1. RefsWatch Dev also leads on ads (none vs shown). Rugby Board's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 4 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
