Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ReturnRadar at 5.0 against Manuals's 1.5. ReturnRadar also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 5 weeks). Manuals's advantage is monetization model (free vs paid) and ratings volume (31 vs 1). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
