LGTM vs Octokit: What are the differences?

Developers describe LGTM as "A simple pull request approval system for GitHub". LGTM is a simple pull request approval system using GitHub protected branches and maintainers files. Pull requests are locked and cannot be merged until the minimum number of approvals are received. Project maintainers can indicate their approval by commenting on the pull request and including LGTM (looks good to me) in their approval text. On the other hand, Octokit is detailed as "GitHub API Client Library for .NET". It is a client library targeting .NET 4.5 and above that provides an easy way to interact with the GitHub API.

LGTM and Octokit can be primarily classified as "Tools for GitHub" tools.

LGTM and Octokit are both open source tools. It seems that Octokit with 1.79K GitHub stars and 870 forks on GitHub has more adoption than LGTM with 949 GitHub stars and 100 GitHub forks.
