Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Local B Studio at 100% against DSE Employees's 50%. Local B Studio also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (111 vs 8). DSE Employees's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
