Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: The Force Guide at none against Lightsaber Simulator's 5. The Force Guide also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Lightsaber Simulator's advantage is ratings volume (2.4K vs 1) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
