Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Big Button Box 2 Lite at none against SoundEffect App's 4. Big Button Box 2 Lite also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (238 vs 30). SoundEffect App's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 9 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
