The clearest difference is review sentiment: Glow Burst at 90% against Hundreds's 60%. Glow Burst also leads on price ($0.99 vs $2.99). Hundreds's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 11 months) and rating (4.0 vs 3.8). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
