Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Freeze at 86% against Fromaggio's 20%. Freeze also leads on rating (4.7 vs 2.0) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 11 days). Fromaggio's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
