Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SunPowerProConnect at 4.2 against FranklinWH's 3.4. SunPowerProConnect also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). FranklinWH's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). 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.
SunPowerProConnect holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 64 and 95 respectively.
