The clearest difference is update cadence: Fwrd at every 2 days against PowerVision 4's monthly. Fwrd also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 78%). PowerVision 4's advantage is ratings volume (312 vs 3) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PowerVision 4 sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and Fwrd sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
