Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Train your brain at 100% against Lights's 0%. Train your brain also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). Lights's advantage is ratings volume (130 vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
