Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: LloydsSmart at 4.6 against Mi Telcel's 2.8. LloydsSmart also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Mi Telcel's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (2.7K vs 160). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
