Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Cool Fonts+ at 67% against Edge Lighting's 3%. Cool Fonts+ also leads on rating (4.5 vs 1.7) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 6 months). Edge Lighting's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
