Verdict
The clearest difference is price: French River at Free against OSSGA Material Reference Guide's $6.99. French River also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 22 months). OSSGA Material Reference Guide's advantage is iOS requirement (8.0 vs 10.0). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
