Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: LetterCode at none against FiveFive!'s shown. LetterCode also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). FiveFive!'s advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly) and ratings volume (248 vs 29). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
