Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Nightgate at Free against Glow Burst's $0.99. Nightgate also leads on rating (4.2 vs 3.8) and ratings volume (21 vs 4). Glow Burst's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Nightgate is free to download; Glow Burst costs $0.99 up front. Nightgate sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Glow Burst asks for nothing beyond the download.
Nightgate holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nightgate has 21 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 90% of Glow Burst's written reviews are positive against 83% of Nightgate's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
