Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Freewheeling Adventures at 100% against Tripcast's 50%. Freewheeling Adventures also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). Tripcast's advantage is ratings volume (7.2K vs 21) and chart position (#191 vs unranked). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
