Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Loadbase at 5.0 against 5F Connect's 2.3. Loadbase also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (16 vs 3). 5F Connect's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
