Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Strobe Rave at none against Disco Lights's shown. Strobe Rave also leads on iOS requirement (6.0 vs 15.0). Disco Lights's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 7 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
