Verdict

The call

Studio Light Pro and Studio Softbox Light both sit at 5.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Studio Softbox Light's written reviews are positive against 0% of Studio Light Pro's. Studio Softbox Light also leads on update cadence (every 11 days vs every 13 months) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). Studio Light Pro's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
