Verdict
The clearest difference is price: FrameStep at Free against Framo's $2.99. FrameStep also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 92%). Framo's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.0). On ratings volume, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
FrameStep is free to download; Framo costs $2.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Framo holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 4 and 6 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of FrameStep's written reviews are positive against 92% of Framo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
