Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: IlliNight at none against LineLeap's shown. IlliNight also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). LineLeap's advantage is ratings volume (3.3K vs 10) and chart position (#27 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
