Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Real Crowd at 5.0 against SideCar's 2.4. Real Crowd also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). SideCar's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Real Crowd holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SideCar has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
