Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Lane 201 at 91% against Wella's 24%. Lane 201 also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.8) and ratings volume (3.4K vs 49). Wella's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
