The clearest difference is ads: Liquid Defense Lite at none against Harena's shown. Liquid Defense Lite also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and ratings volume (4 vs 1). Harena's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, rating and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
