Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: whoisgracepa at none against First 5's shown. whoisgracepa also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). First 5's advantage is ratings volume (888 vs 3) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 6 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
