Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: BOL Tickets at none against RTP Play's shown. BOL Tickets also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). RTP Play's advantage is review sentiment (23% vs 0%) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
