Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Frank at 67% against BIB Mobile's 20%. Frank also leads on rating (5.0 vs 1.5) and device support (3 vs 1). BIB Mobile's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 10 months) and ratings volume (16 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
