Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Lvlup at none against Pump's 4. Lvlup also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). Pump's advantage is ratings volume (19 vs 1) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, rating, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
