Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: RA Guide at 4.9 against MINIRIGS's 1.5. RA Guide also leads on review sentiment (52% vs 11%) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). MINIRIGS's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
