Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: FairConsent at 100% against NANLINK's 19%. FairConsent also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.1). NANLINK's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ratings volume (92 vs 3). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FairConsent sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. NANLINK asks for nothing beyond the download.
