Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Argus Publications at none against ILMA's shown. Argus Publications also leads on ratings volume (90 vs 5) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). ILMA's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 9 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ILMA holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Argus Publications has 90 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Argus Publications ships an update every 9 months, ILMA every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 13, 2026 and September 16, 2026 respectively.
