Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: cMate at none against CFR 46's 3. cMate also leads on ratings volume (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 12.0). CFR 46's advantage is update cadence (every 12 months vs every 51 months). On price, rating, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
