Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: RouteViews at none against FileTransfer's 1. RouteViews also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 2 weeks) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.6). FileTransfer's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
