Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: LiftOff at none against Speak Comments's 1. LiftOff also leads on rating (4.2 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). Speak Comments's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
