Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Osmo Projector at 4.4 against Popplet Lite's 2.8. Osmo Projector also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). Popplet Lite's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (59% vs 33%). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Osmo Projector holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Popplet Lite has 70 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of Popplet Lite's written reviews are positive against 33% of Osmo Projector's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Popplet Lite ships an update every 5 months, Osmo Projector every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
