Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Lighten Up Lights at none against Augmented Christmas Tree's shown. Augmented Christmas Tree's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.5). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
