Verdict
The clearest difference is price: USTA Flex at Free against Like My Drill's $0.99. USTA Flex also leads on rating (4.8 vs 2.4) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). Like My Drill's advantage is chart position (#8 vs unranked) and device support (4 vs 2). On ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
