Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: LaView at 4.7 against Girafit's 2.8. LaView also leads on ratings volume (22K vs 229) and review sentiment (37% vs 28%). Girafit's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
