Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: LIGHTIFY at none against LED's shown. LIGHTIFY also leads on ratings volume (2.4K vs 149) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). LED's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.0) and review sentiment (43% vs 26%). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
