Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Panflow at Free against F's $2.99. Panflow also leads on review sentiment (89% vs 78%) and iOS requirement (9.3 vs 12.0). F's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On ratings volume, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Panflow is free to download; F costs $2.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
F holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 18 and 27 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of F's written reviews are positive against 89% of Panflow's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
