Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: FD CANnect at 5.0 against FortiFone's 1.9. FD CANnect also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). FortiFone's advantage is update cadence (every 4 months vs every 12 months) and ratings volume (22 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
