Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Litho at Free against Fast Annotate's $4.49. Litho also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 6 weeks) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). Fast Annotate's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
