Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: LIUSafety at every 4 days against Transact eAccounts's monthly. LIUSafety also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and device support (3 vs 1). Transact eAccounts's advantage is ratings volume (49K vs 2) and chart position (#120 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
