Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: HappyLighting at none against Decody's 3. HappyLighting also leads on ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#120 vs unranked). Decody's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 2 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
