Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Live Lounge at 100% against GAIL's Bakery's 26%. Live Lounge also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). GAIL's Bakery's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
