Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Bluubird at 100% against Receipts's 75%. Bluubird also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 11 days vs every 2 months). Receipts's advantage is ratings volume (304 vs 7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
