Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: LBA NYPD at none against SILive.com's 21. LBA NYPD also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). SILive.com's advantage is ratings volume (6.6K vs 2) and chart position (#111 vs unranked). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
