Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Lights Out* at none against hocus GO's 1. Lights Out* also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). hocus GO's advantage is ratings volume (513 vs 2) and update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
