Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Next Car Dashboard at 4.0 against LED Performance's 2.8. Next Car Dashboard also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). LED Performance's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.2). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
