Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: iFTx at 72% against GoldenMate's 25%. iFTx also leads on rating (4.2 vs 2.0) and ratings volume (70 vs 6). GoldenMate's advantage is price (Free vs $1.99) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 months). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
