Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Spotlyte at 4.5 against Biddle's 3.4. Spotlyte also leads on ratings volume (20 vs 5). Biddle's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 60%) and iOS requirement (12 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Spotlyte holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 20 and 5 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Spotlyte's written reviews are positive against 100% of Biddle's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
