Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Challengermode at none against FACEIT's shown. Challengermode also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). FACEIT's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (6.1K vs 149). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
