Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: The Angry Motivator at free with in-app purchases against Brainrot's subscription. The Angry Motivator also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and device support (3 vs 1). Brainrot's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
