Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Fantasy EFL Official at fortnightly against FA Essential Information's every 6 months. FA Essential Information's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
