Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: MemeLite! at freemium against Afterlight's subscription. MemeLite! also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Afterlight's advantage is ratings volume (171 vs 2) and iOS requirement (16.6 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
