Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Lines MX2 at none against Fault Line's 10. Lines MX2 also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.4 vs 17.0). Fault Line's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
