Reverse Lookup ®'s advantage is ratings volume (1.7K vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.4). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Reverse Lookup ® sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per 7 days and Lookify sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
