Verdict
Digital Link and FX Radar are too close to call on the numbers: across 10 compared parameters — price, rating, review sentiment and ratings volume among them — neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
FX Radar holds the better App Store score, 3.2 against 3.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 50 and 44 respectively.
