Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Session at 4.4 against Light Blue's 3.7. Session also leads on ratings volume (28 vs 3). Light Blue's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Session holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Session has 28 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of Light Blue's written reviews are positive against 79% of Session's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Light Blue ships an update every 2 months, Session every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
