Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: IPmotion at 3.0 against LILINViewer's 1.8. LILINViewer's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (30 vs 2). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
IPmotion holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LILINViewer has 30 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 4% of LILINViewer's written reviews are positive against 0% of IPmotion's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
LILINViewer ships an update every 10 days, IPmotion every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on June 10, 2026 and September 16, 2026 respectively.
