Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: FOREWARN at 4.9 against Follow Up Boss's 4.3. FOREWARN also leads on monetization model (free vs freemium) and ratings volume (29K vs 395). Follow Up Boss's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
