Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: 9th now at 5.0 against FIU Mobile's 4.4. 9th now also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 59%). FIU Mobile's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 19 months) and ratings volume (50 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
