Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Big 9 at none against 10×10's 1. Big 9 also leads on review sentiment (93% vs 75%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). 10×10's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). On price, rating, ratings volume and device support there is nothing between them.
