Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: BrandCycle at 5.0 against Split.co's 4.2. BrandCycle also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 61%) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Split.co's advantage is ratings volume (364 vs 8) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
