List Maker ◎'s advantage is ratings volume (6.8K vs 1) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. List Maker ◎ sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per year and LilyDo sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
