Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SYSTEM JJ at none against Roll Time's 1. SYSTEM JJ also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). Roll Time's advantage is ratings volume (28 vs 2). On price, rating, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
