Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Fluent at Free against Multiplication's $0.99. Fluent also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 56%) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). Multiplication's advantage is chart position (#199 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
