Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Clix at every 10 days against Philips Lumea IPL's every 2 months. Clix also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Philips Lumea IPL's advantage is ratings volume (1.3K vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
