Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Facebook Creator Studio at 4.8 against Friendster's 4.1. Facebook Creator Studio also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and chart position (#34 vs unranked). Friendster's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
