Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Idle Light Bulb at 82% against Number Store's 8%. Idle Light Bulb also leads on rating (4.8 vs 2.8) and ratings volume (3.3K vs 25). Number Store's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (12.5 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
