The clearest difference is rating: PROmote at 4.8 against BoardMe Lite's 4.2. PROmote also leads on ratings volume (6.2K vs 13) and chart position (#14 vs #184). BoardMe Lite's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 4 months) and price ($2.99 vs $5.99). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

PROmote costs $5.99 and BoardMe Lite $2.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

PROmote holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2.
