Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Lyf Pay at 4.5 against Izly's 2.1. Lyf Pay also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). Izly's advantage is ratings volume (1.8K vs 120) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Written reviews point the same way: 53% of Lyf Pay's written reviews are positive against 48% of Izly's.
Lyf Pay ships an update monthly, Izly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
