Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: First15 at none against PPC Friends's shown. First15 also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 9 months) and ratings volume (461 vs 3). PPC Friends's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.6). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
