Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: FREEIP at 4.4 against SgsEye's 2.1. FREEIP also leads on ratings volume (1.2K vs 39) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). SgsEye'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.
