Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: BuyCAN at none against Limited's shown. BuyCAN also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 6 days) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Limited's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
