Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Basics Work at none against Favorite Army's shown. Basics Work also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Favorite Army's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 12 months) and ratings volume (21 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
