Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: LibertyX at Free against FairOption's $17.99. LibertyX also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 23 months) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16). FairOption's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
