Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Border League at none against Fantera's 3. Border League also leads on ratings volume (66 vs 6) and iOS requirement (12.4 vs 15.1). Fantera's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 6 months). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
