Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: LocateOS at 5.0 against iProcess's 3.0. LocateOS also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months). iProcess's advantage is ratings volume (29 vs 1) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
