Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: The Adjudicator at none against Idle Light Bulb's 8. The Adjudicator also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). Idle Light Bulb's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
