Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Battle.net at Free against LM player's $5.99. Battle.net also leads on ratings volume (36K vs 1). LM player's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 4 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On ads, in-app purchases, chart position and device support there is nothing between them.
