Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: GingerbreadApp at none against BallDog!'s 1. GingerbreadApp also leads on ads (none vs shown). BallDog!'s advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
