It's quite different though.

PSN:

you get access to the "claimed" monthly free games as long as you have subscription
you can't download or keep playing the "claimed" games if your subscription expired.
those claimed game will shown as "in library" and can't be purchased even if there is a on-going sale.
if you paid for a plus member extra bonus discount game, it's still yours if your sub expired.

Epic:

you can download the game and keep them somewhere, as long as the auth token can verify you own the game and not expired. (similar to Steam I think the token is valid for a week if your internet goes out. it will ask you to go into offline mode as well. )
this works for both free game they gave out and the one you paid for with money.

I don't know how the higher tier of PSN and GamePass works regarding the access of game you "played".
