Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Hallmark+ at 4.2 against Christmas Light Finder's 1.0. Hallmark+ also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (monthly vs every 61 months). Christmas Light Finder's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
