Verdict
The clearest difference is price: atLEAF at Free against Leafscan's $19.99. atLEAF also leads on update cadence (every 44 months vs every 104 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). Leafscan's advantage is chart position (#190 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
