Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: 42 Foundation Tools at fortnightly against LAPFCU Mobile Banking's every 4 months. 42 Foundation Tools also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). LAPFCU Mobile Banking's advantage is ratings volume (5.3K vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
