Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Linger at none against Daimon's shown. Linger also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 9 days) and device support (3 vs 1). Daimon's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (85K vs 1). On price, rating and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
