Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: RATEM at 4.9 against BigUp's 4.4. RATEM also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (100% vs 83%). BigUp's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
