Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Epoxy at none against Float's 2. Epoxy also leads on ratings volume (15 vs 3) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 26.0). Float's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 4 weeks). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
