Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Radii + at free with in-app purchases against Friction Network's subscription. Radii + also leads on ratings volume (277 vs 2) and device support (4 vs 2). Friction Network's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
