Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: LakLaka at none against Striving's shown. LakLaka also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 weeks). Striving's advantage is ratings volume (127 vs 1) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 16.4). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
