Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: No_Chat at none against MyLight's 1. No_Chat also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (monthly vs every 5 months). MyLight's advantage is ratings volume (29K vs 32) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MyLight sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. No_Chat asks for nothing beyond the download.
No_Chat holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MyLight has 29K ratings behind it against 32, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 76% of MyLight's written reviews are positive against 92% of No_Chat's.
MyLight ships an update every 5 months, No_Chat monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
