Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: LDL Reduction at 5.0 against LDL's 3.3. LDL Reduction also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). LDL's advantage is ratings volume (17 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
