Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Push Papa at none against Light's shown. Push Papa also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Light's advantage is update cadence (every 4 months vs every 164 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
