Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Light Play at 5.0 against Basketball Roll's 4.6. Light Play also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 72%). Basketball Roll's advantage is ratings volume (14K vs 8) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
