Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: DreamNight at Free against LightsOut's $0.99. DreamNight also leads on ratings volume (107 vs 7) and device support (3 vs 1). LightsOut's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months). On ads there is nothing between them.
