Verdict
The clearest difference is price: J.Crew at Free against Luddite's $4.99. J.Crew also leads on ratings volume (917 vs 4). Luddite's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 3.1) and chart position (#110 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
