Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Lemon Melon Macaron at Free against Jelly Defender's $0.99. Lemon Melon Macaron also leads on rating (4.2 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (31 vs 3). Jelly Defender's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 20 months). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
