Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Neon Sign Maker at none against Light Magick's 1. Neon Sign Maker also leads on ads (none vs shown). Light Magick's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price and update cadence there is nothing between them.
