Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Luv at none against British Essentials's shown. Luv also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). British Essentials's advantage is iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.4). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
