Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Ferryhopper at none against Live Like Local's shown. Ferryhopper also leads on review sentiment (34% vs 0%) and rating (4.8 vs 4.4). Live Like Local's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
