Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: FACEIT at 4.8 against Gaijin Pass's 2.1. FACEIT also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (46% vs 18%). Gaijin Pass's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
