Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: FutureLink at 3.1 against RF Connect's 2.3. RF Connect's advantage is update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 4 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
FutureLink holds the better App Store score, 3.1 against 2.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3 and 8 respectively.
