Verdict
The clearest difference is price: FluffyChat at Free against SpeedLight Viewer's $4.99. FluffyChat also leads on review sentiment (48% vs 34%) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). SpeedLight Viewer's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 3.9) and chart position (#14 vs unranked). On ratings volume, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
