Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ManicTime at none against Funnel's 4. ManicTime also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and device support (3 vs 1). Funnel's advantage is ratings volume (43 vs 1) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 4 months). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
