Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Jousting Birds at none against Lights Off's 1. Jousting Birds also leads on iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). Lights Off's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 months vs every 10 months). On price there is nothing between them.
