Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Reading syllables at Free against Frequency's $0.99. Reading syllables also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). Frequency's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 14 months). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
