Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: LifeDates at 100% against PetsAge's 45%. LifeDates also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). PetsAge's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
