Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Three at 4.4 against LBSMobile's 1.0. Three also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 1). LBSMobile's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Three holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Three has 1.2K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 18% of Three's written reviews are positive against 0% of LBSMobile's.
Three ships an update every 2 weeks, LBSMobile every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
