Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Increase at Free against Developer Laboratory's $0.99. Increase also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 60%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Developer Laboratory's advantage is ratings volume (6 vs 1). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
