Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Highlands at every 3 weeks against LLBC's every 5 months. Highlands also leads on ratings volume (462 vs 55). LLBC's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 85%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
