Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Fing at 4.6 against AccessMyLAN's 1.4. Fing also leads on ratings volume (117K vs 13) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 4 months). AccessMyLAN's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
