Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: LMS at 100% against Core's 0%. LMS also leads on rating (5.0 vs 1.4) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.6). Core's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 20 months) and ratings volume (158 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
