Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Fax.Plus at 4.7 against Pro's 3.3. Fax.Plus also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (13K vs 165). Pro's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 14) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
