You can control these message changes from as far as 30 feet away. When the App connects to the sign for the first time you will be asked to register using an email address. At that point we capture the date, time, email and unique ID of your sign for warranty purposes only. The one year warranty starts when you first connect to the sign. We do not use your email for any marketing purpose and we protect it from unauthorized use. Each sign you buy will require registration only once when you initially connect. After that you should be able to use all the signs you buy with just one App. The Emoji message is included to show you which Emoji's the sign currently displays. You can copy one or more and paste them into a new message or add them to an existing message to give it extra interest. Currently you can add up to 99 messages. You can easily re-order the messages by tapping the message number.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Inskrib at none against First Player's 1. Inskrib also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 16.6). First Player's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 6 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
