Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Yabbila at 5.0 against ROD's 3.4. Yabbila also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). ROD's advantage is ratings volume (14 vs 1). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
