Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: hiDashCam at none against FREEIP's shown. hiDashCam also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). FREEIP's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
