Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: SafeResource at fortnightly against PNWFCU's every 4 months. SafeResource also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 79%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). PNWFCU's advantage is ratings volume (1.6K vs 5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
