Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Fr8.App at 100% against Uber Freight's 28%. Fr8.App also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Uber Freight's advantage is ratings volume (13K vs 2) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
