Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Gem at none against Loved Scents's 2. Gem also leads on iOS requirement (13.4 vs 16.4). Loved Scents's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 27 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
