Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: lak24 at free against idealo's free with in-app purchases. lak24 also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 85%). idealo's advantage is ratings volume (553 vs 1) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
