Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Desktop Apps at $0.99 against Lirum Device Info's $299.99. Desktop Apps also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 17.6). Lirum Device Info's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 2.9) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). On review sentiment, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
