Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: LawStack at 80% against Laws & Regs's 33%. LawStack also leads on rating (4.7 vs 3.4) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 49 months). Laws & Regs's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 34). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
