Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Dot Tag at none against Rock Pusher's 16. Dot Tag also leads on ads (none vs shown). Rock Pusher's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
