Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Font Diner at Free against AnyFont's $1.99. Font Diner also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 months). AnyFont's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 2.6) and ratings volume (26K vs 75). On in-app purchases, monetization model, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
