Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Magic Lighting at none against Rhonna Collage's 3. Magic Lighting also leads on price ($0.99 vs $1.99) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 12.0). Rhonna Collage's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 20 months). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
