Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Redbros at none against Digfender's shown. Redbros also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 4 months) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 13.0). Digfender's advantage is ratings volume (1K vs 35). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Digfender sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and Redbros sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
