Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Con Edison at every 6 weeks against FriedrichGo's every 22 months. Con Edison also leads on ratings volume (125K vs 3.2K) and review sentiment (48% vs 38%). FriedrichGo's advantage is monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
