Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CaptionMate at none against I'mFound's 3. CaptionMate also leads on ratings volume (268 vs 1). I'mFound's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 75%) and update cadence (every 10 days vs monthly). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
