Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: XLSV at none against Functions's 3. XLSV also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). Functions's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
