The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Lumberjack at none against Home Cross's 10. Lumberjack also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). Home Cross's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (2.8K vs 2). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
