Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Tone generator at 4.0 against FreqSound Player's 1.0. Tone generator also leads on ratings volume (155 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). FreqSound Player's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
