Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: dBMeter at none against LeakGuard's 2. dBMeter also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 26). LeakGuard's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
