Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: APRSKit at 100% against RICOH AR's 50%. APRSKit also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). RICOH AR's advantage is price (Free vs $4.99) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 17). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
