Since you seem to be interested in guessing, look at https://fricas.github.io/api/Guess.html and the respective article https://arxiv.org/abs/math/0702086. A general comparison is hard to make. Since FriCAS grew out of AXIOM, it it is a compact system that is strong in many areas, in particular integration. A main ingredient of FriCAS is that it comes with a strongly typed programming language that may detect wrong code already at compile time. SAGE probably covers more areas by incorporating lots of other open-source packages into a whole system. It's programming language is Python (or Cython). Sage certainly covers more maths areas than Axiom/FriCAS, and usually with efficient implementations. E.g. doing number theory or graph theory, or group theory, or coding theory in Axiom/FriCAS isn't going to take you very far. OTOH Sage never had its own symbolic integration, it merely provides interfaces, whereas in Axiom/FriCAS it's one of the areas where it excels. In fact, SAGE also has an interface to FriCAS and allows to use the FriCAS integration routines from within SAGE. Maybe other people can add.
