Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Light Planner at Free against Blur Lens's $1.99. Light Planner also leads on update cadence (daily vs fortnightly). Blur Lens's advantage is chart position (#170 vs unranked) and device support (3 vs 1). On ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
