Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: iNet at 77% against Lecture Pro's 20%. iNet also leads on rating (4.5 vs 3.5) and ratings volume (2.5K vs 13). Lecture Pro's advantage is iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
