Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: S at 4.2 against FoxCloud US's 3.4. FoxCloud US's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
S holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 14 and 5 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of S's written reviews are positive against 67% of FoxCloud US's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
S ships an update monthly, FoxCloud US fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
