Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Firefly Lane at 100% against Exploration Lite's 61%. Firefly Lane also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5). Exploration Lite's advantage is ratings volume (23K vs 5) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
