Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: IFDA Mobile at 5.0 against AREPx's 3.3. IFDA Mobile also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). AREPx's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (11 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
