Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Human Scale at 100% against LE05's 55%. Human Scale also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.1) and ads (none vs shown). LE05's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (139 vs 3). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
