Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Catgobuy at 5.0 against Galina's 3.8. Catgobuy also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.5). Galina's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
