Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Service Forester's Toolkit at none against Forge Path's 1. Service Forester's Toolkit also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Forge Path's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
