Verdict
The clearest difference is price: NextDNS Remote at Free against FlareDNS's $2.99. NextDNS Remote also leads on review sentiment (89% vs 50%) and ratings volume (41 vs 1). FlareDNS's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

NextDNS Remote is free to download; FlareDNS costs $2.99 up front. NextDNS Remote sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. FlareDNS asks for nothing beyond the download.
FlareDNS holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NextDNS Remote has 41 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 89% of NextDNS Remote's written reviews are positive against 50% of FlareDNS's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
