Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: R at 3.0 against McLeod Anywhere's 1.8. R also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 8%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). McLeod Anywhere's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 9 months) and ratings volume (173 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
