Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: U at 100% against RGB Lights's 22%. U also leads on rating (3.7 vs 2.0) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). RGB Lights's advantage is ratings volume (16 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
