Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Front Page at none against FT Digital Edition's 2. Front Page also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 17.6). FT Digital Edition's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months) and chart position (#168 vs unranked). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
