Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Flick Threads at none against FanBolt's shown. Flick Threads also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). FanBolt's advantage is update cadence (every 11 months vs every 40 months). On price, rating, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
