Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Really AR at 4.2 against FiGPiN's 2.7. Really AR also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 25%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). FiGPiN's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
