Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: TastyFuture at every 6 days against Defender Empower's every 7 months. TastyFuture also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Defender Empower's advantage is ratings volume (1.8K vs 4) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
