Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Fontasy at 4.7 against Parse.ly's 3.9. Fontasy also leads on ratings volume (850 vs 7) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months). Parse.ly's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 59%) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Fontasy holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fontasy has 850 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of Fontasy's written reviews are positive against 100% of Parse.ly's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Fontasy ships an update every 2 months, Parse.ly every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
