Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Leechy at every 4 days against Giggster's every 5 weeks. Leechy also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Giggster's advantage is ratings volume (2.1K vs 21) and iOS requirement (16 vs 26.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
