Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MoonSurf at none against FujiCompass's 1. MoonSurf also leads on iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). FujiCompass's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 7 months vs every 113 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
