Verdict
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.
