Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: VesperX at none against MyLight's shown. VesperX also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months). MyLight's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
