Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: LightsPlay at 3.2 against Starlight Pro's 1.0. LightsPlay also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (6 vs 1). Starlight Pro's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
