Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sequim Lavender at none against FerryFriend's 11. Sequim Lavender also leads on update cadence (daily vs weekly) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). FerryFriend's advantage is ratings volume (2.9K vs 3) and chart position (#79 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
