Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: FTA at every 2 months against WEG WPS's every 6 months. FTA also leads on ratings volume (10 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for FTA against 5.0 for WEG WPS.
