Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Ripple at none against Combinations's 1. Ripple also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Combinations's advantage is ratings volume (41 vs 3) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
