Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Comic Caption Meme Maker Lite at none against Speech Bubbles Photo Editor's shown.

On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Speech Bubbles Photo Editor's written reviews are positive against 61% of Comic Caption Meme Maker Lite's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
