Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Franchise.com at 4.7 against NFS's 3.0. Franchise.com also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 17 months) and ratings volume (32 vs 2). NFS's advantage is monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.6). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
