Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Lottery Snitch at every 3 weeks against vdrLive's every 7 months. Lottery Snitch also leads on device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.5 vs 26.0). vdrLive's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
