Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Equipment Trader at weekly against LEVEL Auctions's every 8 months. Equipment Trader also leads on ratings volume (531 vs 8) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). LEVEL Auctions's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
