Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ADX Mobile at 4.1 against CBD FS's 1.0. ADX Mobile also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (19 vs 1). CBD FS's advantage is monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
