Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: FORM at free with in-app purchases against Cofactor's subscription. FORM also leads on ratings volume (3.9K vs 130) and chart position (#59 vs unranked). Cofactor's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FORM sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $27.99 per month and Cofactor sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
