Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Breadcrumbs at none against Project Sourdough's 1. Breadcrumbs also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly). Project Sourdough's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
