Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: DropMint at none against LightRes's shown. DropMint also leads on ratings volume (130 vs 1) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). LightRes's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
