Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: The Freebird Studio at none against Thrive's 10. The Freebird Studio also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). Thrive's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
