Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: FindElfl at none against Funlux's 11. FindElfl also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.1). Funlux's advantage is rating (2.3 vs 1.9) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 8 months). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
