Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: IB Validator at none against BookingLounge's 2. IB Validator also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). BookingLounge's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 6 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
