Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DC Courts Mobile at none against LawStack's 34. DC Courts Mobile also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). LawStack's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (379 vs 2). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
