Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: PH at free with in-app purchases against Lighthouse's subscription. PH also leads on review sentiment (54% vs 41%). Lighthouse's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
