As you can see in the feature comparison[1], the free edition doesn't cover Windows' system applications, it doesn't offer a lot of pre-defined rule sets, or Desktop integration. Binsoft's WFC does.

However, if you're willing to spend money, Sphinx's product seems to offer quite a bit more features, but then you might as well consider other products out there.

Also, Binsoft's WFC UI, especially that of the rules editor, slowed down for me pretty heavily with just a hundred rules.

I'm not sure how Sphinx W10FC handles it but the Binsoft WFC doesn't accept not pre-defined file types. So if you have a binary with a random suffix, like anti-cheating rootkits often do, you can only add a generic allow or deny rule. You can't configure the rule.
