Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Lifewood at every 2 months against LloydsSmart's every 7 months. Lifewood also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). LloydsSmart's advantage is device support (4 vs 2). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
