Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Crown Rips at free against ArbLab's freemium. Crown Rips also leads on ratings volume (583 vs 1) and chart position (#142 vs unranked). ArbLab's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 10 days). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
