Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: 4RL at 5.0 against Rodeo's 4.5. 4RL also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 74%) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). Rodeo's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (158 vs 6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
