Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Laudo at every 8 days against Latch App's every 2 months. Laudo also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Latch App's advantage is ratings volume (155K vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
