Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Robin at 3.3 against BookitLab's 1.7. Robin also leads on review sentiment (23% vs 0%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). BookitLab's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
