Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: UrActor at none against FanBolt's shown. UrActor also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 11 months) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). FanBolt's advantage is ratings volume (3 vs 1). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
