Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: HookDeploy at none against Firebase Console's 3. HookDeploy also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). Firebase Console's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
