The lights magically change colors at just the right moment, adding a new level of ambiance to your music.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: MobileDigger at Free against Light DJ's $2.99. Light DJ's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 5 months) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
