Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Mobile.eye at 5.0 against LiDAR Pointer's 3.3. Mobile.eye also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 23 months). LiDAR Pointer's advantage is ratings volume (8 vs 1). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
