Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: AF App at every 10 days against The RAC's every 5 months. AF App also leads on ratings volume (15K vs 1) and chart position (#77 vs unranked). The RAC's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
