Verdict

The call

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.
