Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: NeoTaste at 4.7 against Franco Manca's 1.0. NeoTaste also leads on review sentiment (41% vs 9%) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). Franco Manca's advantage is monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
