Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: RevHead Pro at 100% against Friction's 25%. RevHead Pro also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.6). Friction's advantage is ratings volume (319 vs 1) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 4 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
