Verdict
The clearest difference is price: FindThatCricket at Free against Poly's $2.99. FindThatCricket also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Poly's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
