Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Lactoo at none against ResX's 8. Lactoo also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). ResX's advantage is ratings volume (797 vs 3) and chart position (#12 vs unranked). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
