Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Lenexia News at Free against RSS's $4.99. Lenexia News also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). RSS's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months) and chart position (#159 vs unranked). On ratings volume, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
