    lz4 is a command line compressor for a single compression format: lz4. 7-Zip in contrast features a GUI and supports a buch of different archive formats and compression algorithms.

    LZ4 is an amazing program, don't get me wrong. It's best option for compression of a data stream with zero performance loss. However, it is a command line compression stream program (and library) for compressing a single file, not an archive creation program.
