Bakiva's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ForkMore is free to download; Bakiva costs $3.99 up front. ForkMore sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per month and Bakiva sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.49 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
