Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: LBuy at 5.0 against Fortress's 4.0. LBuy also leads on review sentiment (43% vs 18%) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Fortress's advantage is ratings volume (66 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
LBuy holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fortress has 66 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 18% of Fortress's written reviews are positive against 43% of LBuy's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
