Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: LaLínea at 4.9 against EZ Access's 2.4. LaLínea also leads on review sentiment (67% vs 25%) and update cadence (weekly vs every 44 months). EZ Access's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 18.6). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
