Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: FREEIP at 4.4 against XiaoT's 3.0. FREEIP also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 31 months) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 5). XiaoT's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
