Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Astral Light at every 3 weeks against Polyforge's every 28 months. Astral Light also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Polyforge's advantage is ratings volume (930 vs 147). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
