Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Finextra Pro at free against FactSet's subscription. Finextra Pro also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). FactSet's advantage is ratings volume (367 vs 19). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
