Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Leatherstocking Federal CU at free against First Source's free with in-app purchases. Leatherstocking Federal CU also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). First Source's advantage is ratings volume (6.1K vs 3) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
