Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Always Jump at none against Light's shown. Always Jump also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Light's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 86%). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
