Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sqoop at none against STERO Lite's 10. Sqoop also leads on iOS requirement (17.2 vs 26.0). STERO Lite's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 69%) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
