Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: FREEIP at 4.4 against IPCTester's 1.0. FREEIP also leads on ratings volume (1.2K vs 1) and review sentiment (25% vs 0%). IPCTester's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
