Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: The Light at none against Help's 9. The Light also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Help's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 13 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
