Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Flash Studio at 4.8 against BRIGHTLUX's 2.3. Flash Studio also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 16 months) and ratings volume (6.1K vs 20). BRIGHTLUX's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
