The call

The clearest difference is rating: Flash Studio at 4.8 against Anycubic's 2.9. Flash Studio also leads on review sentiment (56% vs 29%) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). Anycubic's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
