Great question! Not sure how thoroughly this had been compared. However, I did find this systematic review but it’s limited to cardiac surgery patients- it’s free, full text-
Systematic review on the predictive ability of frailty assessment measures in cardiac surgery
I think the choice of frailty score depends on its suitability in your research setting (e.g. hospital vs community setting) and whether any translation and validation of the tool existed in your country. Here is a recent systematic review analysing the instruments for the detection of frailty syndrome in older adults for your reference:

Martin Ming Him Wong I do agree about the context-relate choice of the assessment tool; the review he quotes is very comprehensive.
Please let me "spoiler" Gerontechnology journal, wherein it will be possible to have a scope on tech usage in order to pick-up / predict frailty in different settings.
Further, Golgi Cenci Foundation too [you may follow its director (Antonio Guaita) on ResearchGate] is shedding interest on the issue. Mauro
Hi Gulali, since there are various definition of frailty you will find many scales and tools, so a lot depends on "what kind" of frailty you mean (i.e. bio-psycho-social, only physical, etc.).
However, perhaps this document written by the Joint Action on Frailty could be helpful:
Yari Longobucco I do agree; further, the choice of the definition may depend on the context you are: in the InveCeAb [cohort longitudinal study of brain ageing in Abbiategrasso (you may find in it ResearchGate looking for Antonio Guaita)] the cumulative index [according to Rockwood] was selected, leveraging also on its biometric properties.
