Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: FactSet at 4.6 against REDD Intelligence's 4.0. FactSet also leads on ratings volume (367 vs 4) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). REDD Intelligence's advantage is monetization model (free vs subscription) and iOS requirement (12.4 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
