Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SENTBE at 4.9 against JRFKorea's 3.6. SENTBE also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (788 vs 7). JRFKorea's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
