Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Literary Lasso at none against Stack Category!'s shown. Literary Lasso also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Stack Category!'s advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
