Both are free to download. Notchify sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Live Wallpapers 27 Lock Screen sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Live Wallpapers 27 Lock Screen holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3.

Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Notchify's written reviews are positive against 41% of Live Wallpapers 27 Lock Screen's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
