Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: FLEXcollective at 5.0 against GuidanceNow's 2.5. FLEXcollective also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.6). GuidanceNow's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (6 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
