The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Freed at 100% against CentricCU's 63%. Freed also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). CentricCU's advantage is ratings volume (3.7K vs 21) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
