Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Luna Lighthouse at none against Json Genie's 1. Luna Lighthouse also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). Json Genie's advantage is chart position (#206 vs unranked). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
