Verdict
The clearest difference is price: R.F. at Free against Pocket Field Notes's $1.99. R.F. also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). Pocket Field Notes's advantage is chart position (#195 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
