Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: LifeGate at none against R101's shown. LifeGate also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). R101's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 9 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and ratings volume there is nothing between them.
