Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: My LJMU at none against Three's shown. My LJMU also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 18%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Three's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 17 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
