Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: LIT at 4.5 against Plankpad's 2.9. LIT also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (864 vs 26). Plankpad's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.4 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
