Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: WASK at 4.7 against Frndly TV's 3.6. WASK also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 16) and ads (none vs shown). Frndly TV's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (2.4K vs 22). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
