Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Outly at Free against LandOverlay's $2.99. Outly also leads on ratings volume (1K vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). LandOverlay's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
